The Brazilian butt lift, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, has become increasingly popular for both men and women seeking a natural way to enhance and shape their buttocks without the use of implants. Factors such as significant weight loss, aging, gravity, and genetics can contribute to a flat or sagging appearance in the buttocks. Dr. Arun Rao, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Tucson, AZ, offers the innovative Brazilian butt lift procedure to address these concerns. This technique involves a specialized fat grafting and transfer method, using liposuction to extract excess fat from one area of the body, purifying it, and then strategically injecting it into the buttocks to achieve a fuller and more desirable silhouette. Dr. Rao employs an artistic approach in performing this body contouring surgery, leveraging years of training and experience to achieve natural and stunning results for both male and female patients at Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery.
who should get the brazilian butt lift?
Assessment of eligibility is essential for potential candidates of the Brazilian butt lift, primarily focusing on the availability of an adequate amount of fat for the transfer process. Individuals with low body weight or limited fat for extraction may not be suitable candidates. Fat extraction for the procedure can be sourced from various areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, flanks, and lower back. Additionally, candidates should exhibit healthy skin laxity; those with sagging or wrinkled skin may find better suitability for a surgical butt lift.
For individuals at an ideal weight, possessing sufficient fat for extraction without a preference for implants, the Brazilian butt lift presents itself as an excellent option.

our surgical technique
For a fat transfer surgery like the Brazilian butt lift, the use of general anesthesia is common. Typically conducted as an outpatient procedure, it generally lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours, contingent on the quantity of fat involved in the extraction and transfer process. The initial step involves liposuction to remove fat from designated areas like the thighs, flanks, or lower back. Subsequently, the extracted fat undergoes a purification process using a sterile system. Once purified, the usable fat is collected into syringes. The final stage entails the injection of the harvested fat tissue in layers, with a gentle massage to ensure a smooth and natural appearance. This injection process is repeated several times until the desired fullness is achieved.
what to expect after the BBL
After a Brazilian butt lift, you’ll be discharged for recovery at home. It’s crucial to acknowledge the dual areas undergoing healing — the sites of fat extraction and the newly augmented buttocks. Both areas may exhibit swelling and bruising for several days. Patients are advised to avoid placing any weight on the buttocks for approximately three weeks post-surgery. While initial results become visible as swelling diminishes, the full outcome typically takes 3 to 4 months to materialize. Following the procedure, the buttocks will showcase a curvaceous and shapely appearance. Notably, dramatic results can be accentuated, especially if liposuction targeted areas like the flanks and lower back.
